This is the rest of the story. A few weeks ago I posted about how Brian Rabon had chased and found his dream job and lifestyle in my post "Thank You for Changing my Life" Click to listenBrian and I caught up (over Skype -- with some tech details) to do a quick chat about the rest of his story. In this interview you will hear...- Why he says "Don't die in your cube."- How Brian awakened to his need to break away.- How what he thought was his goal turned out to be a nightmare.- How frustration came before he finally "got it" and made it happen.- How he used the tools of IEM and the "How to Find Your Calling" (see below) exercise to make it happen.- Why Brian believes the idea of "work-life balance" is a joke.- Why his hobby of snow skiing caused him great depression while he worked in the cube.- How he went from 3 days to 50+ days per year on the ski slopes.Overall this is a great interview with a great friend. Brian's words are nothing short of inspiring and motivating.We all need a kick in the pants sometimes. This interview will deliver.Technical Issues!** The audio over Skype had some technical issues, mostly at the halfway point, but the content is still there! I would have re-done the interview but this was such good information from Brian that I wanted to go ahead and share it. Be like Brian.
